  1. If you do the number crunching over a campaign for home games: Membership: £50 Season Ticket: £250 Replica Top: £50 And depending on your personal circumstances, for each game you are probably ave £100 on travel, food & beer money (and that's if you're local, some will be considerably higher if you're traveling from afar) £600 (5 qualifiers and England game) There's £950 for starters... for another failure. The SFA should be run as a governing body, not a commercial organisation. Maybe that will help get the real focus back!
  2. Our player of the campaign without a doubt. Great attitude.
  3. At the start of the campaign I think we all knew it would be a case of us and Republic or Ireland battling it out for 3rd place. Unfortunately we lost that battle. But why? Once again it was result in Tbilisi that was proven to be decisive in the campaign. Coupled with failure to see through both games against Poland and other results not going "our way" means the tournament exile continues. Another roller coaster ride with you all on the TAMB. Until next time.
  4. We need to bring in a psychologist. For me, the problem is much deeper than average players. It's the mentality of "typical Scotland, glorious failure" that we constantly have thrown at us that we've come to accept. This is the biggest hurdle to overcome first.
  5. Hardly encouraging viewing here. Fortunately the rugby team restored a bit of national pride for us. Where do we go from here for football though?
  6. I too am starting to get The Fear. If we were ever going to qualify for a tournament, this was it. I was 13 during France 98 and dreamed of going to a tournament with my mates. Euro 2004 was to be the "first" as we would have been 19/20 during it. Now 31 and still waiting. It's an all too familiar thread on this board of assessing how it went wrong and how to remedy it for the next campaign. But this one feels particularly harrowing. How many players from our current squad have another campaign in them? Maloney (32) D Fletcher (31) Whittaker (31) Hutton (30) Brown (30) Do we just have to accept we are not a football nation any more?
  7. Still one of my favourites. This is the kind of noise I want to hear tonight comrades
  8. Also, bring back Insomnia as the intro. Fans have a massive role to play tonight.
  9. What am I reading here? Yes, Poland are a better side than us. We've beaten better teams than them before. Anything can happen tonight. https://youtu.be/0ptVFq7sQUg http://youtu.be/0ptVFq7sQUg
  10. Yes. It's well documented and seen as the decisive piece of action that ended the war in Europe. Referred to the Battle of Berlin most of the time.
  11. The West will hate for it to be Russia that stepped up and took out ISIS so will seek to use their propaganda tools to discredit them. Think of all the "We won The War" pish we subjected to during the referendum when it was the Soviet Union that took Berlin and ultimately brought on the German surrender.

    Anya Out

    Not good at all. Need to attack in this game and Anya is one that would make that happen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33543822
  13. What a bowfing scenario this is. Realistically Poland is probably a must win game with a draw making Sunday an incredibly nervous afternoon. A loss on Thursday and it's game over. I seriously hope the brief isn't to be cautious and play for the draw because we never seem to deliver when it really matters.

  14. Just noticed that (assuming they both play this week's double-header) that the first leg of a playoff would see both Scott Brown and Alan Hutton join the Scotland Hall of Fame on 50 caps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_national_football_team#Players
  15. Christian Dailly ... Ritchie out of those 2 though.
  16. Another excellent video. Always gets the confidence & morale up.
  17. Obama press briefing yesterday. Just the absolute despair in his voice that he's powerless to do anything. https://www.facebook.com/Vox/videos/443470695840538/
  18. Just re-discovered Quavers. Light, cheesy and all round gid.
  19. The Counting House has served us well for the best part of 10 years. Just dinnae steal our spot!
  20. The lack of coverage in our media on this is a disgrace. Bad when we need an Arabian outlet to keep us up to date. And are folk seriously trying to bring football teams into this decision? Catalan teams could easily continue as is. Seems to work fine in the NHL for Canada and The US.
  21. Tomorrow at 1600 our time. What do we think? Life? Water? Viable manned mission? http://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-to-announce-mars-mystery-solved
